You asked, and we listened! Patch #11 has arrived for the Demo, and it's directly built around the feedback, reports, and suggestions you’ve shared with us both on Steam and Discord.

There are a lot of sweet fixes, but before we dive into the full list, here are some of the biggest changes:

• The demo build size has been reduced from 55 GB to 24.7 GB. No more long downloads before you play the game
